I've stumbled across this article while looking for a specific mod..



This part really stuck out:

So my main issue with the SP game is the extremely passive, peaceful AI. This seems to explain it. Since everyone starts out with their capital city, the AI never finds itself in a situation where one particular player has a 25% lead on gaining a domination victory. Therefore the AI never starts pursuing a domination victory. Even if by some random chance the AI conquers *one* capital in a game of 6 or 8, that only gives them a 16.6% or 12.5% lead on a domination victory.

I was thinking of dusting this up and trying again but I see that every dlc has mixed reviews. Is that just sweaty troll fans or does it really suck?

The AI is just fucking terrible. What good is it adding all these complex features if the AI just doesn't fucking do anything ?

There's very few video games out there to play that are even more expensive than Civ 6. With all the DLC there are, it's really only beaten by an active WoW subscription, The Sims and Freemium games. And for all that money, all you get are some obscure civs that won't even show up in many of your games unless you specifically select them to be there. That's why I don't buy any of them.

The only multiplayer Civ I ever played was Civnet waaaay back in the 90s. Buggy piece of crap, but the only one in town.

So don't even trying it as nothing has been fixed? I would only do SP. Last played Jan 2017 :)

I've had some success with very strong modding such as
remove all victory conditions except domination and the AI will actually build lots of units
allows playing on highest difficulties without the AI running away on a strong headstart due to 3 settlers on start.

how broken is this game now? It's so broken you can actually win the game without settling a city

The two dumbest highlights are 22:10, the first natural disaster where he is the only one who propses relief aid (along with the affected AI) so he's the *only* player in the race for aid, so he wins the full rewards for 1 gold and 34:55 where he votes for himself to lose 2 diplomatic victory points because he's in the lead and that's what the AI will also vote on, but because he voted for the proposal that won, he immediately gets one VP back.

theres just way too many mechanics piled into the game to keep pumping out expansions and DLCs without adequate testing. the game is a mess, full of exploits.

saving this because I'm pretty sure their crooked steam mods will delete it when they find it and ban the guy
